"The best thing is to find something you enjoy or people you enjoy being with to share the experience."
-Richard W J Brown
Motivation Monday - Richard's Insight
I happened to write these words in response to a Facebook post about exercise and how to stay motivated. A paralympic athlete, who I didn't previously know, seemed to find them inspirational, which was a bit of a surprise really. However, as I thought about these words, they can apply to many situations in life, can't they? Our career, business, pastime, studies and even our choice of exercise routine!
One of the best ways to make sure we stay the course is to enjoy what we are doing, some might also call this passion. Equally important can be the support, motivation and even fun we get from being with people of a similar mindset to enjoy the ride.
My advice is to stop right now and ask yourself these two questions:
- Am I enjoying this?
- Am I enjoying being with these people?
If the answer to either question is no, then it may be time to change things, so that you can answer yes instead. Do remember this, though...we can also change our own way of looking at a situation, as well as changing our environment or companions 😉
